If you do not, you may still install GBrowse and its dependencies in
non-standard paths.  See the documentation below on ``Installing
GBrowse in non-standard paths''.
<p>The Fink package manager is *not* required; instead, all packages are
built from source.</p>

<p>See the full documentation for installing and using GBrowse on Mac OS
X in</p>

=head2 Versions and URLs</pre>
<p>Due to inconsistent naming and distribution of dependencies, these
scripts rely on a Perl package (BuildConfig.pm) that stores the
versions and URLs of dependencies known to work with GBrowse. If you
wish to use a newer version of a library, simply edit the
BuildConfig.pm file (and drop me a line concerning your results).</p>
